This year our Pentecost & Spring Festival worship will take place on Sunday, May 19 at 10 a.m. We think about membership as three P’s: regular presence in our community worship; participation in the life and ministries of the parish; and pledging to support this parish and our outreach efforts with an annual or ongoing financial gift. You do not need to be baptized or a confirmed Episcopalian to join as members of this parish. If you are interested in baptism or confirmation, please be in touch with one of the clergy. If you consider yourself a newcomer or a newly returned member, please join us for this special liturgy when invited to come forward. Questions? Speak to Rev. Heather Blais.
 All services are in-person and live streamed to Facebook.
Palm Sunday—March 24 at 10:00 a.m. This service recalls Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem through music and Holy Eucharist.

Holy Wednesday—March 27 at 7:00 p.m. Tenebrae comes to us out of the Monastic tradition of the Daily Office for Holy Week from the Middle Ages.
